Day 2 of the Total Liquor Ban:
Think I'll take up smoking. Hah, j/k I already smoke but now I intend to smoke more. The "good" brand of cigarettes are ~$1.50 a pack. All the other ones taste like dirt. Somewhat ironically, the ones imported from China are the best. Hope the Mexican restaurant is still open as a good hot sauce can somewhat replace the buzz caught from alcohol, even if it is much more ravaging on the rectum.
Liquor ban, that's harsh! Think I'd also take up smoking if I didn't already in your situation, or try smack of something (not a suggestion). Ketamine must be getting popular in your neck of woods by now for sure! Grimey shit. Starting to realise I don't have f all bacci

Usually I'm stocked with 1-2 kg rolling for heading back to the uk, but ain't got plans to go nowhere soon from cheap bacci land. Also feel like it'll be a waste of money right now, it'll be the first product to get looted hard if the night shops close imo. I'd feel like such a clown putting a big chunk of fiat down on that
if there's a free for all in the near future. Either that, or take the opportunity to give up again. Addictions are no good in apocalypses, they will slow you down, make you weak and vulnerable to prey.
Starting to design my own
"mad max" style front bumper for my mate's muscle car, as a safety net. He's got the wheels for a decent looting vehicle, need a proper metal reinforced bumper, ideally with some good spikes, for it
if the time comes. Something that we can get in and out of places no problems, through most hardened materials, no parking outside nonsense. I don't think I'm really considering the "mid-term" situation here of shit being bad and getting better or worse anymore, I'm just planning for the worst case scenario right - shit totally going down over this. Imagine if you knew there was a chance civilization would starting crumbling in the near future, but you didn't prepare yourself for it? Your human animal instincts would be replaced by domesticated obedience, it's no good.
Also need to get a rifle, don't want to wait a few months to try and get hold of one, that'll be too late. Already put myself down as night shift guard for the gardens here that means we can live sustainability. I'm totally in the right place despite atm the borders closing in around me. Need some good weaponry to defend that shit though, hungry people are crazy. Fortunately, I've long considered that this civilization will inevitably collapse, just like every version prior to it, so have been mentally prepared for over a decade now. Just didn't consider it could be over this stupid virus, or happen in my lifetime to be honest.
